Ex-White House doctor calls for 'medical evaluation' of Trump after disturbing new video

A former White House doctor has told Donald Trump he desperately needs to seek medical attention after a Truth Social post.

Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who served as cardiologist to former Vice President Dick Cheney, took to X and urged Trump to receive an evaluation. Reiner wrote, "Earlier in the week the president threatened to kill an entire civilization. Now he posts a video of a woman being beaten to death.

"To put it mildly, that’s concerning behavior. If he was a member of your family you would urge him to see a doctor. He should have a medical evaluation.",,,,,

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, wrote on X, "DHS did the same earlier today. It was for exactly as vile a reason as you can imagine; basically Breitbart’s old 'black crime' vertical as official government policy. There hasn’t been an administration this openly racist since Wilson invited the KKK to the White House."

Reiner has criticized Trump in the past and commented on his mental strength several times, criticizing Trump for conflating the basic 10-minute dementia screening tool with evidence of exceptional intelligence. He previously urged the president's advisers to "beg him to stop bragging" about the test.

17. From The Guardian (at the link)...

"In 2019, the journalist Michael Edison Hayden obtained more than 900 emails sent to Breitbart editors in 2015 and 2016 by Stephen Miller, who is now Trump’s main domestic policy adviser, urging them to focus on violent crimes committed by people of color and immigrants."

The entire Trump administration, from top to bottom, is full of sick fucks. The Republican party is full of sick fucks. Trump's MAGA supporters are all sick fucks.

24. He truly

is a mentally sick unstable man. Listen to William Sacha Riley's account of all DJT killings of young girls and even killed puppies (broke their necks). Very long interview but must be listened to.

DJT is a very dangerous swamp dweller.

31. to Trump, one immigrant represents ALL immigrants

of course that is NEVER the case for our homegrown gun humping mass murderers

[GoCubsGo]

7. I guess Dr. Reiner never saw any of Trump's rallies or speeches.

They're rife with him describing violent acts, mostly against women, with utter glee. He gets off on people being brutalized, maimed, and murdered. It's just gotten worse now. Not that I disagree with anything the good doctor is saying...

[sheshe2]

8. He needs more than an evaluation.

He needs to be locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane. He is a clear danger to the entire world and that goes for those people that are enabling him. Not one member of his cabinet, or his MAGA congress or senate seem to give a rat's ass about their own children's future. Their silence speaks volumes and that makes them all as morally corrupt as he is

[MadameButterfly]

18. It will keep getting worse. At some point they can't hide or ignore it.

I can't conceive of how that will look and who will be able to take action. But he just won't last 3 more years.

[maxsolomon]

21. How long into his 2nd term was Reagan's decline obvious?

He rode out the full term into 1989.

[MadameButterfly]

22. Trump's decline is way worse and way more dangerous

Reagan at least had real professionals running the government for him, and took advice from time to time.

[bdamomma]

25. I don't

think he will last, but I hope he gets a very hot reception where he is going. He deserves it.

[sheshe2]

28. Yes, it will get worse.

And sadly...

At some point they can't hide or ignore it.

They will continue to ignore it. What will it take for them to act?!

[calimary]

19. THIS. Most DEFINITELY!

And YES. I’m SHOUTING!!!

I’m SHOUTING, DAMMIT!!!

[BurnDoubt]

9. Thirty-Four Percent...

of Americans could use an evaluation. Yesterday.

[MadameButterfly]

23. They'll get better when the cult leader is not in charge any more

10. Matching what Dr. John Gartner said Monday

Dr. John Gartner is a psychologist, former Johns Hopkins University Medical School professor,

He was interviewed by Joanna Coles after Trump threatened “a whole civilization will die tonight” ie Iran, last Sunday.

Gartner said he is a malignant narcissist who - gets off on the suffering of others. This is who he is! And he’s getting worse.

Ranking member of House Judiciary Cmte formally asks White House physician to conduct cognitive exam of Trump, citing truth social posts and Trump’s statements at Easter Egg Roll

“Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent
with dementia and cognitive decline. And, in recent days, the country has watched President
Trump’s public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane,
deranged, and threatening”

...that letter will just go straight to the circular file.

15. Raskin demands Trump cognitive test in 25th Amendment push

trump is clearly impaired.

Link to tweet

https://www.axios.com/2026/04/10/raskin-demands-trump-cognitive-test-in-25th-amendment-push

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) is demanding the White House physician perform a cognitive test on President Trump in light of his recent comments on Iran.....

Driving the news: In a letter to White House physician Sean Barbabella, Raskin insisted that he "conduct a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of the President, including a formal cognitive screening instrument, and publicly release the results."

The Maryland Democrat said Trump's recent demand to "Open the Fuckin' Strait" and threat to kill Iran's "whole civilization" are "plainly out of the realm of normal politics."

"We have indisputably entered the realm of profound medical difficulty and concern," he wrote.

Zoom in: In addition to the cognitive exam, Raskin asked for a detailed report on Trump's physical and mental health, including a list of "any medications he is currently taking and their potential cognitive side effects."

He also asked that Barbabella make himself "available for a briefing, under oath, with Members of the Committee on the results of this assessment."

State of play: The letter was sent just before a briefing Raskin is set to give to fellow House Democrats on the 25th Amendment.

He has been making the case that lawmakers are empowered to take action, pointing to language in the amendment that allows "such other body as Congress may by law provide" to declare Trump unfit for office.

[maxsolomon]

20. Yeah that's not going to happen.

Even Ivanka couldn't get him to go to a real doctor.

He would never let a real doctor give him a real exam.

He would never accept a real diagnosis.

The White House is lashing out at Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) after he sent a letter to President Donald Trump's doctor demanding he submit to cognitive screening, according to MS NOW's Mychael Schnell.

"Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person," stated White House spokesperson Davis Ingle. "President Trump’s sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the past four years when Democrats like Raskin intentionally covered up Joe Biden’s serious mental and physical decline from the American people."

This follows a letter sent by Raskin, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, to Cpt. Sean Barbabella, the White House physician, expressing concern that Trump's erratic behavior surrounding the Iran war could be a sign of mental decline — and citing concerns from some of Trump's former allies, including former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) that he has "gone insane," as well as concerns from Rep. James Comer (R-KY) about former President Joe Biden's mental fitness.

"Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline," wrote Raskin. "And, in recent days, the country has watched President Trump's public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening. His apparently deteriorating condition has caused tremendous alarm across the nation (and political spectrum) about the President's cognitive function and continuing mental fitness for the office of President, and prompted concerns about the President's well-being."

"On October 2025, you issued a statement declaring that the President 'continues to demonstrate excellent overall health,'" wrote Raskin. "In light of the President's extreme behavior over the past week to say nothing of his conduct in office more broadly-the public must know whether you still stand by that assessment. As Republican congressional leaders have repeatedly said, the American people deserve to know whether our President is mentally capable of making the life- or-death decisions that his office demands."

Trump has denied any issues with his mental acuity, repeatedly insisting that he has "aced" the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) — even though passage of this test does not rule out mental decline.

https://www.ms.now/news/raskin-bill-25th-amendment-remove-trump

Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill on Tuesday that seeks to kickstart the removal of President Donald Trump through the 25th Amendment — a longshot effort that, while unlikely to succeed, aims to put renewed focus on the president’s mental fitness and recent rhetoric.

The legislation, which was offered with 50 Democratic co-sponsors, would establish a “Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office.” That Commission would be composed of 17 members tasked with determining whether the president is incapacitated — “either mentally or physically” — and able to discharge the powers and duties of office, as called for in Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. .....

Despite the mounting calls to invoke the 25th Amendment, it is highly unlikely Trump would be removed through that mechanism, which has never been used to end a presidency in U.S. history.

To be successful, the vice president and a majority of the president’s cabinet would have to agree that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” If the president were to dispute that assessment — as Trump almost certainly would — at least two-thirds of the House and Senate would have to agree that the president is unfit to serve to remove him from office.

In effect, using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office is a higher burden than impeachment and conviction in the Senate......

This is not Raskin’s first move zeroing in on Trump’s mental fitness. Last week, the Maryland Democrat called on the White House physician to conduct a “comprehensive cognitive evaluation” of Trump.

“At a time when our country is at war — especially when the war was initiated by the President without congressional declaration or consent — the American people must be able to trust that the Commander-in-Chief has the mental capacity to discharge the essential duties of his office,” Raskin wrote in a letter. “I therefore request that you conduct a comprehensive cognitive assessment of President Donald Trump, provide those results to Congress, and make yourself available to brief Congress on your findings.”

39. MaddowBlog-Trump confronts a public conversation he hoped to avoid over his mental stability

One observer argued, “The American people must not look away … They must pay attention to the president’s deterioration.”

Is Trump’s mental stability getting worse or has he always been this way? It’s tough to say with confidence.

What’s easier to say is that the intensifying public conversation about his mental fitness is getting louder, which is a disaster for the White House.

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-confronts-a-public-conversation-he-hoped-to-avoid-over-his-mental-stability

Last week, after Donald Trump issued genocidal threats toward Iran and made strange comments at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Rep. Jamie Raskin decided to contact the president’s physician, seeking a “comprehensive cognitive and neurological evaluation.”

This week, the Maryland Democrat, who serves as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, took another step down the same path, unveiling a proposal to establish a Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office. The measure, which was unveiled with 50 Democratic co-sponsors, would be responsible for determining whether the president is incapacitated “either mentally or physically” and unable to discharge the powers and duties of office, as called for in the 25th Amendment.....

Indeed, the day before Raskin unveiled his proposal, The New York Times published a striking report with an unsubtle headline: “Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Mental Health Debate.” From the article:

President Trump’s erratic behavior and extreme comments in recent days and weeks have turbocharged the crazy-like-a-fox-or-just-plain-crazy debate that has followed him on the national political stage for a decade.

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane statements capped by his ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ threat to wipe Iran off the map last week and his head-spinning attack on the ‘WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy’ pope on Sunday night have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power.

The Times highlighted a lawyer who used to work with Trump, who described the president as “a man who is clearly insane.” It also noted a recent comment from Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary who worked for Trump in his first term, who wrote online last week that her former boss is “clearly not well.”.....

Indeed, I remember the Times publishing a front-page report in October 2024, about a month before Election Day, that highlighted a variety of situations in which the Republican “seemed confused, forgetful, incoherent or disconnected from reality.” The same article added, “He rambles, he repeats himself, he roams from thought to thought — some of them hard to understand, some of them unfinished, some of them factually fantastical. He voices outlandish claims that seem to be made up out of whole cloth. He digresses into bizarre tangents about golf, about sharks, about his own ‘beautiful’ body.”

A year and a half later, is Trump worse? It’s hard to say with confidence.

What’s easier to say with certainty, however, is that this entire line of inquiry is a disaster for the White House. Trump is woefully unpopular; he has no idea what to do with a struggling economy; and the destabilizing war he started in Iran for reasons he’s unable to explain clearly isn’t going according to plan — to the extent that the president even had a rudimentary plan at all.

It’s against this backdrop that the conversation about his mental fitness is getting louder.
